摘要:A perceptual image fusion method is proposed that employs explicit luminance and contrast maskingmodels. These models are combined to give the perceptual importance of each coefficient produced by the Non subsampledContourlet Transform (NSCT) of each input image. This combined model of perceptual importance is used toselect which coefficients are retained and furthermore to determine how to present the retained information in the mosteffective way. Here the luminance masking and contrast masking are used to improve the image fusion. This work isthe first to give a principled approach to image fusion from a perceptual perspective. Furthermore, the proposed methodis shown to give improved quantitative and qualitative results compared to previously developed methods.
